Hello, fellow bakers! I've been trying my hand at making peppermint bark, but I keep running into an issue where the layers split apart. Has anyone else faced this? Any tips or tricks to keep the layers together? Really hoping to get this right!

I think achieving the right consistency for each layer is crucial for preventing splitting in peppermint bark! Make sure your chocolate is properly tempered and cooled before adding the peppermint layer on top. Though, spreading the layers thinly and evenly can also help maintain stability. Have you tried adjusting the thickness of your layers?

Ah, the peppermint bark struggle! One trick I've found helpful is to make sure each layer is fully set before adding the next. Also, try using tempered chocolate for a more stable base. And don't forget to score the chocolate gently before it sets to help prevent cracking. Let me know if that helps!

I totally agree with you! Making sure each layer sets properly and using tempered chocolate for stability are crucial steps. Scoring the chocolate gently beforehand is a good idea too
